Abstract: The bracket (B) is particularly for securing the visor spindle (X) to a supporting structure (K) on the vehicle without using screws. It has a main body (1) on which are two or more locking members (V) and a bearing boss (4). The members are inserted in openings in the structure so as to engage behind their edges, and a front cover (2) has locking wedges (8) acting against the members. Each member has two arms (10, 11), by which it engages behind opposite opening edges and at right angles to the insertion direction. One arm (11) is movable in relation to the body (1) in the engagement direction (E), and can be positively coupled to the body so as to prevent movement of the latter against the insertion direction. The wedge can be driven between the two arms, the coupling (K) between the movable arm (11) and the body being engaged by the wedge.

Abstract: A print data processing pipeline (15) for use in a color
electrophotographic printer optimizes print quality and minimizes memory usage
by separately processing lossy and lossless print data. Lossy print data may
include print data for images and lossless print data may include print data for
text, line art, and graphics. Partitioning print data into lossy and lossless
elements allows application of the print data compression operations optimized
for each type of print data. High compression ratios can be achieved on lossy
print data by applying visually lossless compression operations designed for the
lossy print data. In addition, high compression ratios can be achieved on the
lossless print data by applying lossless compression operations designed for the
lossless print data. A merge unit (128) combines the lossy and lossless print
data streams after decompression to reconstruct the original image using merge
data. The merge data is generated in an image processing operation (1) which
accounts for the different transparency modes of the page description language
print data so that the correct foreground and background placement of objects is
maintained. Placement of the color space conversion operation (12) and the
halftone operation (14) relative to the merge operation (14), further optimizes the
print quality while minimizing memory usage. The print data processing pipeline
(15) includes a direct memory access controller (122) which has the capability to
allow print data to be selectively directed to the lossy (126) or lossless (127)
compressor/decompressor, the color space converter (125), or the merge unit
(128). Feedback paths within the print data processing pipeline (15) allow the
results of the various operations performed to be returned to the direct memory
access controller (122) for further processing or storage in system memory (2,6).
Bypass paths in the color space converter (125) and halftone unit (130) allow
print data to be selectively directed around these operations. These capabilities
allow configuration of the print data processing pipeline (15) to perform a
multitude of permutations of print data processing operations optimized for the
print data.

IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: The method involves measuring the rotating speeds of at least two sensor-equipped wheels (2,3) of the axle (14) that are on opposite vehicle sides. The progression of the speed signals is evaluated, and it is tested whether during braking, a tendency towards locking up exists at the wheels. If this tendency is established at least at one wheel, within the framework of a first control principle, the brake pressure is influenced so that the wheel sensitive to the smaller friction coefficient is at least partially locked. During the first control principle, the brake forces are reduced temporarily by influencing the brake pressure during certain time intervals so that the wheel sensitive to the smaller friction coefficient can start running again from the locked state in the case of an increase of friction value occurring in the mean time.

Abstract: A method of automobile engine fuel control is disclosed which
senses the condition of the automobile's catalytic converter for the
purpose of varying the fuel control function to optimize the
performance of the catalytic converter and lower the automobile's tail
pipe emissions. In accordance with the method of the present
invention, the oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter is
determined from the oxygen content in the automobile's exhaust
metering by sensors located before and after the catalytic converter.
Where the oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter is high,
such as in a new automobile, a higher proportional gain is used in
metering the amount of fuel to be sprayed into to engine in response
to a lean or rich fuel condition. Conversely, where the oxygen
storage capacity is reduced, such as in the catalytic converter in a old
car, a smaller proportional gain is used in metering the amount of fuel
to be sprayed into the engine.

Abstract: The present invention introduce a bar code reader
capable of inferring data coded into one character failing

The CPU demodulates the data obtained by reading bar code
for each data character. Concerning the data character
failing in demodulation, bar width data for four bars
before demodulation is stored in the temporary saving
buffer. When 11 data characters are successful in
demodulation, the CPU calculates back the modulus 10 check
based on the demodulated data corresponding to 11 data
characters, and infers a value of the demodulated data
corresponding to the data character failing in
demodulation. The CPU, when the data character failing in
demodulation is contained in the left data block, infers
an ODD/EVEN configuration of the demodulated data
corresponding to the data character failing in
demodulation based on five pieces of demodulated data
corresponding to data characters successful in
demodulation in the left data block.

house an optical receiver, or to form a bi-directional header suitable for fiber
optic communications.
